This is a HUGE hit in our house. I guarantee once you try this recipe, you will never want tilapia any other way. My son calls this, “Fish With Sprinkles.” I just call it delicious! Enjoy!

Herb Baked Tilapia (or “Fish with Sprinkles”)

4 (4 to 6 ounce) tilapia fillets
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs (I prefer the Italian breadcrumbs & I skip the dried seasonings)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place tilapia on nonstick foil. In a small bowl, combine cheese and mayonnaise. Spread evenly over fish. In another bowl, combine bread crumbs, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.Sprinkle over fish. Coat fish lightly with cooking spray. Bake 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Serve with steamed broccoli and rice.

I went to Aldi last night and they were running Barilla Angel Hair Pasta at only $.39 per box. This is such a great price for this brand! Be sure to stock up as I will be including recipes using this ingredient since I bought ten boxes when I went this last time.

Roasted Chicken (Serves 4)

1 whole chicken – approximately three pounds

Wash chicken inside & out (removing anything inside). Sprinkle seasoning of your choice on the chicken (Lawry’s, Mrs. Dash, salt, or pepper). Next put three balls of aluminum foil in the bottom of the slow cooker (this creates a rack so the chicken doesn’t soak in its own juices). Place the chicken in, breast side down, and cook on low for six to eight hours.

Pair this dinner with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.

Amy’s Notes: Adjust the cooking time according to your slow cooker. I do not put this chicken in until 1:00 and it is ready by 5:00 on low. The newer slow cookers seem to cook quicker so adjust your times accordingly.
